NGD - 1973 Musicmaster Olympic White, etc.

Yeah, why did I walk into a guitar store on a day I got a bonus if I didn't expect to walk out with a guitar?

Here it is:

Everything is stock! Awesome low action and stock pickup is fun. Intonates well enough! Date code says Jan 1973.

Ever since I became a Liz Phair fan, I've wanted an Olympic White Duo-Sonic, and I now have something that looks just like it! I did look under the hood and it's got the Duo-Sonic routing, so I could, in theory, convert this into a Duo-Sonic, but honestly, why would I bother? I'm more of a neck guy anyway, and this thing is original and I will keep it such. I have other more versatile guitars, like my Mustang, so I'm happy to keep this beauty as it is.

Thanks! I've been trying to get my band to cover that song for ages. We have two girls so it'd be cute as fuck.

I've checked out your youtube before and enjoyed it but this most recent visit has me badly wanting both one of those Les Pauls and one of those AC4 combos....Actually one of the amp + cab ac4 bundles has been in my sights for awhile but I've not even thought about getting an LP since I was a teenager.

I've had an AC4TV before (10" version), and honestly, I say AC4C1 or nothing. The non-TB AC4s are kinda boring, IMO. Meanwhile, AC4C1 has the top boost circuit and really gets that AC30-esque Vox tone very easily.

Being able to do AC30s is pretty much what I'm after.

What about the '60 tribute LP? Are you still enjoying that?

I am! The truss rod seems more adjusting than the average Fender, though. I suppose mahogany is softer than maple, and it's the only non-maple neck I have right now.
